Got these several years ago from a member here.

They are so brilliant, as to hurt the eyes.

As I recall, these were redone originals by a Canadian company.

The one in view is etched with "6267" on the back. The other one is in a sealed bag.

Need to know the origin so I can inventory them.

Apologize to the seller, but I'm getting older & have some light memory problems.
Pat

My eyes must be going, but those things are really small Pat. I hope you didn't overpay...in fact they may be worthless.

not even visible

As soon as I can find my glasses (no mean feat without my glasses), I'll be happy to take a look at them ...............

They must be in clear bags.. would explain why they aren't visable.

Oh, those are imaginary replated headlight oilers... Keep them!

I see a little pig laughing at me. How does he know I can't see them either Pat

Holy CRAP!!!

Pat, you've found a NOS early rain tray!!!

WOOOOO-HOOOOOoooooo!!

Are they 914-12's?

Those are damn nice!

Wow those must be too nice to see.

I sent them to you... They are "dual" rear fog lights. Part of the Norweigan package on your COA. Once the fog clears they should become visable.

That's known as the PIG eye test!

You should send them back ( to who ever ) as there isn't enough numbers in the description , can't be genuine Porsche parts.

Pat, I hate to be the one to tell you, your light memory problems have become moderate memory problems. You forgot the most important part of your post.

They are too special to inventory, that's why!

Posting pictures would cause you to have a mob of angry 914'ers beating down your doors to get at those special parts.

Just in case you don't know what that is, it's thanking everyone in advance for the help ..........................

The Cap'n

Just starting to have this exact issue.
And, my memory is getting worse...so I cant remember where I put them.
I have four or five sets now...even the old sets help me find the new set...lol


rich

Pat,

would you sell those to me?
they would make my race car lighter and I'm always looking to save a few pounds...

...been looking for those and still can't find them...

I haven't seen any of those in years!!

Headlight oilers? Somebody put mine on the heat exchangers...

Pat,

These are truly an exceptional discovery, prolly a here-to-fore unknown prototype...rarest of the rare, I cannot believe my eyes.

I just may devote a tribute page to them on my website.

Maybe you are telling us that the best things in life will always be unseen...?

The pair I have aren't showing any aging at all !!!!

But I have lost the clear bags they came in.

You guys are brutal ...

Somebody's gotta do it, might as well be me

They would have been worth far more if they were in the unopened and pristine original packaging. Too bad they're not the most desirable color.

OK, Ok - not the first time I've screwed up. Happy to see you guys having fun though.

This is the pic I forgot.

Jeez!

you can still get these new from PP. I got some for the -6 recently

You can still get these new from the Dealer

Here you go, Pat. Strangely enough, from a posting you and I exchanged two years ago yesterday. Guess my memory is a little better.

Not to highjack your thread Pat but I started cleaning one yesterday and did this in an hour while watching TV. They really clean up well.

Update: They're out of business. This is who they are refering their customers to, http://www.instrument-specialties.com/contact/

No you can't! You can get new, but just try to match the brilliance to mine. The new ones from the Factory aren't even close to the brilliance of the originals - I have 2 sets & they suck compared to these. The new ones are cloudy & have a blue cast to them. If I hadn't stumbled on these I would have been OK with the Factory parts. But, these far surpass those.
Pat

Yeah, I did that too - while watching TV. My originals cleaned up really well (Simichrome), but won't past muster for a concours presentation (pitting). Bought some new ones, after getting these from MDG, but the brilliance wasn't there like the originals.

I know that the Factory supplier has had to change the method of manufacture of these parts because extremely hazardous chemicals were involved in manufacture. Too bad, because the new ones available just don't cut it compared to the originals. OK, but not excellent.

BTW - all the work you've put into yours will oxidize again within 6 months, unless you seal them in plastic bags. Ask me how I know.
Pat

No - not from me.

That was from an old thread about the chrome ring around the interior light. Someone wanted to know where to get plastic chromed and I knew of that place in British Columbia . . . . sorry, no idea who the board member was you got them from.

m.

The luster on them is definitely superior, they look like liquid chrome. But that finish is not anything like the factory originals. Wouldn't this be like SS screws for the tin?

So how would they be judged in competition?

Weren't the originals metal and the replacements are now plastic? I seem to recall my old car had metal foglight grills.

They can't be judged in a concourse because they don't exist yet.
The date code on your photo is April 17th, 2011.
That explains why the photos didn't show up the first time.

Time warp ???
